Private Snorkeling Expedition in the Florida Springs
Things to know
About the Activity
With over 1000 springs, Florida boasts the largest concentration of freshwater springs in the world. It's been said that they are the best kept secret of the nation. This is your chance to explore them in a private group like a local would. Snorkel, paddle board, or hike your way around and through each unique spring - learning how different they are from each other and the critical role they play in the Florida ecosystem. Have a snack to break up the tour, or relax with a damp ice cold towel in the sun. Look and listen for wildlife. The clear waters of the springs are the perfect place to practice underwater photography. This tour is customizable, meaning you can request an emphasis on snorkeling, paddle boarding, or hiking from your guide - as well as underwater photos of your group! All guides who lead these tours are freediving instructors and professional conservationists. You'll learn a lot about the environment as well as some tips and tricks for safe and effective snorkeling.2 hours 40 minutes to 4 hours

Santa Fe River
United StatesThe Santa Fe River has captivated the imagination of adventurers and explorers for generations. This 72 mile long river lies upon the skeletons of the ancient ocean floor, creating limestone rich karst topography, the perfect environment for the extensive underground river network of the Floridan aquifer to exit from the earth. This phenomenon creates the hundreds of beautiful freshwater springs that exist alongside and underneath this river system.
Explore this river with a seasoned environmental conservation educator with a focused passion on the springs. Private tours include hiking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. High-quality gear and rental equipment, an emphasis on safety, and quality education will set this tour apart from others as a boutique experience.
